It Doesn't Look Like This Anymore

Over the years HNL has evolved to accommodate millions of passengers and an increase in traffic that far exceeded what the original airport was designed for. Here we see a view form 2000 with the Ewa, Main, and Diamond Head Terminals.

The classic view of HNL in the 1960's with the dominant carriers, Pan American and United. The roof of the Y shaped gates was the best location to view the new jets that were increasing in frequency to the islands.
In this view facing west, we see the main John Rodgers Terminal at Honolulu International Airport as well as the Inter Island terminal around 1963. Three Pan American 707's and one United DC-8 are at their gates. No, it doesn't look like this anymore.
